Top 23 of 2023: Houston Legend Big Pokey Passes Away, Migos Reunite & More

Big Pokey

As the world slowly wraps up for 2023, SOHH remembers how June was a month filled with significant moments and unexpected turns. From the heartbreaking news of the loss of Big Pokey to drama-filled events, June 2023 was one to remember.

18. A Bittersweet Month

Big Pokey Passes Away

Houston’s music scene mourned the loss of a legend on June 18, as Big Pokey, aged 45, tragically passed away

The rapper collapsed on stage while performing at a bar in Beaumont, Texas, due to a heart attack. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Big Pokey could not be revived, leaving fans and fellow artists devastated by his unexpected departure. 

The 2023 BET Awards

The BET Awards, known for its cultural significance, took place on June 25 and provided a platform for memorable moments. 

One highlight of the night was the reunion of Migos on stage. Offset and Quavo came together once again to pay tribute to their late bandmate, Takeoff. Their performance served as a poignant reminder of the musical legacy left behind by the trio. 

Another standout moment came when legendary singer Patti Labelle graced the stage to honor the iconic Tina Turner, who had passed away the previous month. Labelle delivered a heartfelt rendition of Turner’s 1989 hit, “The Best,” despite some struggles with reading the teleprompter. 

The 2023 BET Awards also celebrated the rising R&B star Coco Jones, who won the coveted title of “Best New Artist”. Jones was on fire in the summer of 2023, propelled to the forefront by the success of her hit single “ICU,” which quickly went platinum after initially achieving Gold status. Starting as a Disney star, the “Double Back,” singer has showcased her versatility as both an actress and a singer.

Family Feud

Amidst the 2023 Father’s Day celebrations, drama unfolded between Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons, stirring up controversy

It all began when Kimora and Russell’s daughter, Ming Lee Simmons, took to Instagram to honor her mother, omitting any mention of her father. This sparked a series of revelations from Russell’s other daughter, Aoki Lee Simmons, who accused their father of narcissistic and abusive behavior throughout their lives. 

Aoki also disclosed Russell’s attempts to coerce Ming Lee into signing over her inheritance by sending people to their residences.

The extent of the drama was further detailed by Kimora, who claimed that Russell had harassed her and Aoki by contacting their friends and had even blackballed Aoki from the fashion industry. The situation reached such a point that Aoki contemplated legal action. 

May-Mayhem 2023

Just as June 2023 was eventful, the preceding month of May had its own share of significant moments. From Halle Bailey‘s success in The Little Mermaid and the subsequent celebration of the “Black Girl Renaissance” to shocking industry events, 2023 has been an eventful year thus far.

Kimora Lee Simmons recently shared on her Instagram that her home was merely engulfed in flames. Fans have flooded social media with comments speculating a connection to hip-hop mogul Diddy

Kimora Thanks The Firefighters & Responders

Kimora Lee Simmons, the renowned fashion designer and businesswoman, recently posted on her Instagram that her Los Angeles was ablaze. 

Photo evidence shared by Simmons showcased the aftermath of the fire, revealing extensive debris throughout her home, particularly near the fireplace where her carpet was rolled back. Firefighters could be seen diligently working to contain the flames in her living room. 

While the cause of the fire remains unknown, Simmons has refrained from releasing any official statements. In a recent Instagram story, Simmons wrote:

“My house caught on fire. The kids and I are all fine. I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude to the numerous battalions, ladders and units that attended to us for many hours today and quite possibly saved our lives. THANK YOU!”

As news of the fire at Kimora Lee Simmons’ house spread, numerous online users took to social media to link the incident to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Speculation and accusations regarding their alleged feud have been circulating, with some claiming that this incident was not a mere coincidence. 

One user, @High_ImEboni wrote, “Seeing that Kimora Lee Simmons’ house almost caught fire & I immediately knew the comments were gonna be full of ppl blaming Diddy…” Another user @hippysoull, expressed skepticism, stating, “Kimora Lee Simmons’ house catching fire amidst all this dirty laundry about Diddy coming out isn’t a coincidence to me. I’m sorry but I don’t buy it.”

These allegations stem from recent revelations regarding the lawsuit Cassie filed against Diddy, where she revealed claims that he allegedly blew up rapper Kid Cudi’s car after discovering his involvement with Cassie, Diddy’s former partner. In addition, on Nov. 17, Simmons took to her Instagram story and posted, “As you sow, so shall you reap,” referring to karma for one’s actions and seemingly alluding to the repercussions the Bad Boy CEO might face. 

Twitter user @TheFadeWW referenced this incident, writing, “Diddy trynna Kid Cudi Kimora Lee,” alluding to the potential connection between Diddy’s scandals and the fire at Kimora’s residence.

Family Feud

Amid Kimora Lee Simmons’ harrowing experience, it is worth noting her role as a devoted protector of her family, which recently gained attention due to a viral family feud involving her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, and their daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee
